Barry Bonds would kick Ruth's ass. Not much more to it. The comparison is based on nostaglia not much more.
MLB is now a game of finely tuned athletes that includes the best the world has to offer (japanese, black americans, s. americans etc.) not just white males.
Sorry not much comparison.

I just don't think you can say he's anywhere near as good as Ruth, that's all.
